More from Peru--Pisaq

Slowly working through my Peru shots. Pisaq is a village in the Sacred Valley of the Incas, famed for its market as well as for its Incan ruin, perched above the town. We drove up to the ruin at dawn and hiked back down into the village. This was one of the most memorable and beautiful hikes of the trip. A tip if you go...don't try to hike UP! Hire a driver to take you to the top and walk down. Much easier ;-)

All taken with D100, 12-24 and 24-120VR

A little later, looking down over the ruins...looks like a long hike to the valley! Nikon 12-24

Gilles, of course we did have shortness of breath :biggrin: (is there a panting icon?) LOL. But, we acclimated gradually. Actually by the time we were in Pisaq we were fine, and Pisaq isn't really that high, relatively speaking (9,000 ft and change.) The only time we really had difficulty was at about 15,000 feet. I'll post a couple of shots from that excursion soon.
